DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a wireless communications system used in this disclosure. The wireless communications system may work in a high frequency band, and may be a future evolved 5th Generation (5G) system, an NR system, a Machine to Machine (M2M) system, and the like. As shown, a wireless communications system 100 may include one or more network devices 101, one or more terminal devices 103, and a core network device 105. The network device 101 may be a base station. The base station may be used to communicate with one or more terminal devices, or may be used to communicate with one or more base stations with some terminal device functions (for example, communication between a macro base station and a micro base station and communication between access points (APs)). The base station may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in a Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) system, or may be an Evolved Node B (eNB) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or a base station in a 5G system or an NR system. In addition, the base station may be an AP, a Transmission Point (TRP), a Central Unit (CU) or another network entity, and may include some or all of the functions of the network entities.

It should be noted that, the wireless communications system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is merely intended to clearly describe the technical solutions of this disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation to this disclosure. A person of ordinary skill in the art may know that, as network architectures evolve and new service scenarios emerge, the technical solution provided by this disclosure is applicable to similar technical problems.

Related technologies used in this disclosure are described below.

Currently, in an existing NR design, a plurality of DL BWPs or UL BWPs may be configured for one terminal device, and the terminal device may perform transmission on different BWPs relatively dynamically in a manner such as DCI/a Media Access Control control element (MAC CE).

However, in an existing link reconfiguration (beam failure recovery) mechanism, many configurations cannot effectively support the foregoing dynamic switching between BWPs. For example, if a signal used to determine whether link quality is excessively low (used for beam failure detection) is dedicated to only one BWP, after switching to another BWP, the signal can no longer be used to determine whether link quality is excessively low. A similar problem also exists in other steps of a link reconfiguration procedure.

For the foregoing problems, the embodiments of this disclosure provide the following embodiments, which are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a method for processing link reconfiguration according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The method is applied to the foregoing example of the communications system and includes the following steps.

Step 201: A network device indicates a preset parameter group to a terminal device, where the preset parameter group is configured for a BWP of the terminal device and is used to perform a corresponding processing operation when the terminal device performs transmission on the BWP.

It can be learned that, in this embodiment of this disclosure, the network device indicates the preset parameter group to the terminal device, where the preset parameter group is configured for the BWP of the terminal device and is used to perform the corresponding processing operation when the terminal device performs transmission on the BWP. It can be learned that, for different BWPs of the terminal device, the preset parameter group is configured, so that processing operations that need to be performed during transmission on the BWPs are more flexibly configured, thereby improving beam management efficiency related to BWPs and system performance. For example, on the different BWPs, if an RS used to determine link quality is dedicated to only one BWP, after switching to another BWP, the signal can no longer be used to determine whether link quality is excessively low. A similar problem also exists in other steps of a link reconfiguration procedure. Therefore, different signals need to be configured for different BWPs to correspond to the foregoing preset parameter group, thereby improving flexibility of configuring a terminal device to perform transmission on a BWP.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes at least one preset parameter group, and each preset parameter group corresponds to one or more BWPs.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes at least one of the following signals: a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) and a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block; and the corresponding processing operation is detecting whether link quality is lower than a specified or configured threshold.

A value of the threshold is specified in a protocol or is configured by a network. The operation of detecting whether link quality is lower than a specified or configured threshold may be referred to as beam failure detection.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes at least one of the following signals: a CSI-RS and an SS/PBCH block; and the corresponding processing operation is selecting a signal that meets a preset condition.

The preset condition is configured by the network. For example, a value corresponding to an L1-RSRP may be used as the threshold. When detected signal quality is greater than the threshold, it is considered that the preset condition is met. The selecting a signal that meets a preset condition may also be referred to as a new candidate beam identification operation.

In this possible example, the preset parameter group is used to configure a corresponding physical random access channel (PRACH) sequence and/or a time-frequency resource.

The preset parameter group is specifically used to configure a PRACH sequence and a time-frequency resource for performing the new candidate beam identification operation.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes a group of power control parameters, where the power control parameters are used to perform transmission to a PRACH sent by the network device after the terminal device selects the signal that meets the preset condition.

The power control parameters may be a preamble Received Target Power. The preset condition may be, for example, configured by the network. For example, a value corresponding to an L1-RSRP may be used as the threshold. When detected signal quality is greater than the threshold, it is considered that the preset condition is met.

It can be learned that, in this example, after selecting the signal that meets the preset condition, the terminal device may perform transmission to the PRACH according to the power control parameters indicated by the network device, where the PRACH is sent by the network device, thereby ensuring that when being switched to other BWPs, the terminal device may accurately perform transmission to the PRACH according to corresponding power control parameters, thereby improving data transmission stability.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes a control resource set (CORESET), and the corresponding processing operation is monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET in a specified window after a PRACH signal is sent on the BWP.

In a possible example, the method further includes: configuring, by the network device, the preset parameter group of the BWP; and instructing, by the network device, to activate the BWP; or configuring, by the network device, the preset parameter group of the BWP and at the same time instructing to activate the BWP.

Same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is another method for processing link reconfiguration according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The method is applied to the foregoing communications system and includes the following steps.

Step 301: Receive, by a terminal device, a preset parameter group from a network device, where the preset parameter group is configured for a BWP of the terminal device and is used to perform a corresponding processing operation when the terminal device performs transmission on the BWP.

It can be learned that, in this embodiment of this disclosure, the terminal device receives the preset parameter group from the network device, where the preset parameter group is configured for the BWP of the terminal device and is used to perform the corresponding processing operation when the terminal device performs transmission on the BWP. It can be learned that, for different BWPs of the terminal device, the preset parameter group is configured, so that processing operations that need to be performed during transmission on the BWPs are more flexibly configured, thereby improving beam management efficiency related to BWPs and system performance. For example, on the different BWPs, if an RS used to determine link quality is dedicated to only one BWP, after switching to another BWP, the signal can no longer be used to determine whether link quality is excessively low. A similar problem also exists in other steps of a link reconfiguration procedure. Therefore, different signals need to be configured for different BWPs to correspond to the foregoing preset parameter group, thereby improving flexibility of configuring a terminal device to perform transmission on a BWP.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes at least one preset parameter group, and each preset parameter group corresponds to one or more BWPs.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes at least one of the following signals: a CSI-RS and an SS/PBCH block; and the corresponding processing operation is detecting whether link quality is lower than a specified or configured threshold.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes at least one of the following signals: a CSI-RS and an SS/PBCH block; and the corresponding processing operation is selecting a signal that meets a preset condition.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group is used to configure a corresponding PRACH sequence and/or a time-frequency resource.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes a group of power control parameters, where the power control parameters are used to perform transmission to a PRACH sent by the network device after the terminal device selects the signal that meets the preset condition.

In a possible example, the preset parameter group includes a CORESET, and the corresponding processing operation is monitoring a PDCCH in the CORESET in a specified window after a PRACH signal is sent on the BWP.

In a possible example, the method further includes:

receiving, by the terminal device, an instruction to activate the BWP from the network device, where the instruction is sent after the network device configures the preset parameter group of the BWP, or the instruction is sent while the network device configures the preset parameter group of the BWP.

Step 402: The terminal device receives the preset parameter group from the network device, where the preset parameter group is configured for the BWP of the terminal device and is used to perform the corresponding processing operation when the terminal device performs transmission on the BWP.

It can be learned that, in this embodiment of this disclosure, the network device indicates the preset parameter group to the terminal device, where the preset parameter group is configured for the BWP of the terminal device and is used to perform the corresponding processing operation when the terminal device performs transmission on the BWP. It can be learned that, for different BWPs of the terminal device, the preset parameter group is configured, so that processing operations that need to be performed during transmission on the BWPs are more flexibly configured, thereby improving beam management efficiency related to BWPs and system performance.
